Nearly One Hundred Persons Killed by
the Cars in Fourteen Years.
THE COMMISSIONERS REPORT.
Ltst of Hallway Casualties Sent to
Senator Morrill,.

moment tnat occurred on tnc Ii. anu ".
and b. and p. Railroad in the District
Of Columbia since July !, 1885. The
statement that fourteen persons were
killed in the District in little more than
two years in such accidents is almost
Incredible, but their names and other
details are furnished through the Police
Department. 1t is also surprising that
there were eighty casualties on these
railroads during this period, and quite n
large number of persons were manned
end crippled for life.
A similar report was furnished Scna-
Tor Morrill, in 1885, embracing dozen
years previous to that date, and, taking
the two reports together, they show that
nearly 100 persons were killed in the
District by the steam railroads in
fourteen hrs.
The records show that comparatively
few OF these were killed in collisions,
and that they were mostly killed by
being struck by the trains while crossing
OF walking on the tracks.
